- Services for Juveniles in Detention Centers with Amy Cheney -

Amy Cheney provides library services for incarcerated youth at Alameda County's Juvenile Justice Center in San Leandro. Winner of the prestigious "Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award," Amy will host a tour of the facilities while discussing such things as outreach, collection development, interface with admin and management, and serving a multicultural audience.

She will also have books to give away, so come prepared with a bag!
